a. How are the roots useful?
b. Name the organism found in the roots.
Answers
Answer:
a.Roots are very important for the plant because: They suck the water and nutrients up out of the soil into the plant. Like this they are not only good for the plant, but they are also good for the soil. When it rains, the roots hold the soil in place so it is not washed away.
b.Rhizobium is the bacterium found in the roots of pea plants and helps these plants in atmospheric nitrogen fixation
Explanation:
Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds.
a. First, they provide the anchor needed to keep a plant in place. More importantly, roots are the lifeline of a plant, taking up air, water, and nutrients from the soil and moving them up into the leaves, where they can interact with sunlight to produce sugars, flavors, and energy for the plant.
b. Root associated microbes include fungi, bacteria, and archaea. In addition, other organisms such as viruses, algae, protozoa, nematodes and arthropods are part of root microbiota.
